dc.description.abstractClimate change threatens societies worldwide, necessitating effective communication to raise awareness and engage diverse communities. Planners play a key role by sharing knowledge and learning from and with vulnerable populations affected by climate issues. This report investigates using cartooning as a tool to enhance engagement between planners and communities when language and illiteracy present significant barriers. I analyzed a series of workshops, my friend and RISD alumni Sumanth Krishna and I collaborated on and conducted, called 'Cartooning for Climate,' which used cartoons to communicate climate impacts to young refugee students from Syria currently based in Turkey. The report explores how this participatory frame[workshop] can decode complex climate concepts and foster dialogue, and how using cartoons, planners can reach a wider audience for climate justice actions. Drawing on the workshops and participation principles like Gaventa's Power Cube, this report presents a framework for planners to communicate climate risks to communities and foster inclusive climate action. The report highlights cartooning's potential in climate communication, promoting creative engagement and united responses to the climate crisis, particularly with young people.
